On that day, they will say to Jerusalem:
Do not be afraid nor let your hands tremble,
for the Lord your God is within you, the Lord, saving warrior.
He will jump for joy on seeing you, for he has revived his love.
For you he will cry out with joy, as you do in the days of the feast.
I will drive away the evil I warned you about,
and you will no longer be shamed.
On that day, I will face your oppressors;
I will save the lame sheep and bring the lost back into the fold.
I will give them renown and honor
in all the lands where humiliation was your lot.
On that day, I will be good to you; and gather you,
to make you famous and honorable, among all the peoples of the earth,
when I bring back the captives before your eyes,—this is the Lord's word.
---- mine,
This is My Word for you and those you love this day. Take heed to every one of My promises, it has already begun. I have heard your prayers, I have collected your tears. I have healed your broken heart. I AM restoring the years stolen by the locusts, and the time for weeping has come to an end, the time for rejoicing and exultant praise to your God, your Healer, Your Savior, Your Provider, and the Bridegroom of your soul whose ear has been preseed against your lips and who has heard every sigh is here. I will turn your mourning into dancing and you will sing and rejoice like a maiden on festal days. The days of sorrow, humiliation, and oppression of those you love are over. Can you not see it? It has begun. I have sent mighty warriors to do battle on your behalf, and they will carry out all my commands. I assure you that all those you continue to lament over and plead for will be set free from the chains that have held them in captivity for so long. I AM the God who saves. I SAVE!
